Valentine's for Nate

Today is Nate's class Valentine's Day party.  We decided that we wanted to make homemade valentine's this year.  We searched and searched for the perfect valentine.  Nate finally chose a secret message valentine.  They were quite work intensive to make, but they are turned out exactly as Nate hoped.  We ended up making 21 valentines!  Here they are:



We also volunteered (ages ago, before I knew I'd be 2 weeks post-op) to bring a treat for the party.  I wanted to bring something really special, something unique, but also something sort of healthy.  Chocolate covered strawberries, dipped in crushed candy hearts, turned out be just right.  Alan and I worked on them last night; it was so much fun!  We just melted a bunch of chocolate chips, crushed the candy hearts with a hammer, and then dipped the strawberries in both.  Easy, gorgeous, and tasty!
